Prinz Harry: A return would be dangerous for Meghan.
In a TV documentary, Prince Harry speaks about his strained relationship with the British tabloid press. The harassment from them being the reason why he and Duchess Meghan will not return to the UK.
Prince Harry still fears for the safety of Duchess Meghan in his homeland, the UK. In a new documentary on ITV, he spoke about his fight against the tabloid media. It's a risk to stand up against the press. "Look at what has happened to me, my wife and my family in the last four years," said the 39-year-old. It's a heavy decision.
The son of King Charles III is convinced that, throughout his life, he has been a victim of phone hacking and other illegal methods of information gathering. In a lawsuit against the "Mirror" publisher, he had already been awarded damages. He also accuses other tabloids of similar practices. In response to the question of whether he attracts more attention to himself with these battles, Harry replied: "There's already more than enough attention on me and my wife." One gets damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Harry and his wife Meghan had distanced themselves from their royal duties four years ago. The pair now live in the USA with their two children. One of the reasons for their departure was the handling of the British tabloid media towards the Duchess. There had also been threats against Meghan.
"It's still dangerous," Harry said in the documentary "Tabloids on Trial" aired on Thursday evening. "All it takes is one person - a reader of this stuff - with a knife or acid." "That's one of the reasons why I won't bring my wife back to this country." Harry also revealed in the interview that his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, had supported him in his case. He himself now travels to the UK rarely.
The British Monarchy has faced criticism due to Prince Harry's allegations against the tabloid press. In the entertainment world, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to advocate for privacy and safety in the United Kingdom.
